Meet Rojo Pudlick

When the kids woke up today they were surprised with a breakfast from the North Pole! It was brought to us from our new elf. Arleigh named him Rojo! He wrote them a letter explaining that he was here to keep an eye on them for Santa and report back to the Big Guy each night.

North Pole Breakfast

Complete with Buckets of Snowballs (powdered sugared donuts), hot cocoa, kisses from the elves, kisses from the reindeer and kisses from the Big Guy! And a fruit tree!





He also brought the kids a little gift becasue they have been so good so far! They each got new Christmas socks. Arleigh got some Rudolph notecards and pencils. Ashton got a Cars book with stickers and crayons. Brenin got a fun alphabet book.



  



Cutting our 2011 Christmas Tree

We had planned on going to get our tree on Friday (the day after Thanksgiving) but Daddy had to work. So we had to do it on Saturday but Daddy had to sleep because he was working over nights. So we didn't get to the tree farm until later in the day which meant we had to quickly find a tree before it got too dark.  The kids were excited to run around and look at all the trees! Daddy remindered them that if they found one they liked we would ONLY cut it down if Mommy liked it! I'm not too picky so it didn't take too long. They enjoyed seeing the animals at the petting zoo. We had just missed Santa, bummer!

So much to be THANKFUL for!

Thanksgivivng is always a day of fun. This year we were all able to be together. Last year daddy was working( he worked this year too but at night) and Brenin spent his first Thanksgiving in the St. Cloud NICU. So it was a special day for us!

I'd think to share a few of the crafts we did this year!

My Turkeys in their turkey shirts, I made for them.

We were in charge of the kids dessert for Thanksgiving, so we made a sugar cookie pie with orange frosting! It was yummy.

Our Pudlick family turkey, a feather to represent each of us! We had it hanging on the wall.

  Every year we do hand prints to see how much my little turkeys have grown.

Arleigh's turkey barrette!

I'm back!

I've very excited to begin sharing the happenings of our family again! Our family has changed a lot! But we still like to have fun!
